The GUNT Experiments with a Radial Compressor is an educational unit designed to demonstrate the operating behavior and key characteristic variables of radial compressors. The two-stage compressor draws gas axially into the rotating rotor, accelerating and compressing the medium via centrifugal force. The intake and delivery pipes are transparent for clear observation, and the air flow is controlled by a throttle valve.
Product Features
- Radial compressors compress gases by drawing the medium axially to the drive shaft; the rotor’s high-speed rotation accelerates the medium outward using centrifugal force, compressing it.
- The experimental unit provides basic experiments to understand the operating behavior and key characteristic variables of radial compressors.
- Features a two-stage radial compressor with variable speed via a frequency converter.
- Includes transparent intake and delivery pipes for clear visualization.
- A protective plate at the intake pipe inlet prevents larger objects from entering and clogging the intake opening.
- Air flow is adjusted by a throttle valve located at the end of the delivery pipe.
- Equipped with sensors for pressure, temperature, and speed to capture accurate data.
- Flow rate is determined via differential pressure measurement on the intake nozzle.
- Microprocessor-based measuring technique is protected in the housing.
- Includes software-supported experiments and evaluation with USB connection to a PC for data analysis.
Benefits
- Provides hands-on understanding of radial compressor operation and performance characteristics.
- Transparent pipes allow clear visualization of airflow and compressor action.
- Variable speed control enables experiments under different operating conditions.
- Accurate sensors and digital data acquisition simplify analysis and reporting.
- Robust design suitable for educational and research laboratories.
